    Op. Out of curiosity, is that a dual pipe setup?

    I haven't read all the post but i bought a cheap set of returned tires from Discount tire online and they were out of round. This was for my 2500hd. Some bitch rides like shit feels like it's going to bounce of the road. I only use it on the weekends to go to home depot extra. Paid 350 for the set. I'm ok with it. But you might have a similar problem even if they are new.

    Seems like an odd addition, two pipes to get stuck on things. My friend has a tundra like that but the drivers side pipe is about 3-4 lower than the passenger. Alll in all it makes me think there are lot of things added to that truck.

    Love the color!
    The front flare still has some paint on it. I wonder if the dealership did the mods.

    Oh yeah, that's right, you have a sport. Which means your fender flares are the same color blue as the rest of your truck. I bet the previous owner plasti-dipped them black. If that's the case you can easily peel it off, if you so choose, or derp them black again.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    From the pics, I'm guessing the wheel offset isn't stock. With those heavy tires, you'd feel pavement imperfections through the steering wheel in the form of a shake, minor but a shake all the same.

    Also, like previously stated, the ride quality will suffer some because of the stiff sidewalls of the tires. Lower air pressure will help a bit.

    I also ditched my Jeep Renegade for my Tacoma. Hi and welcome to TW! :cheers:

    Also I knew jack all on truck stuff before I bought mine and started to put mods on it. I still go to a shop for a lot of my stuff but I've done a fair bit myself with help. If you stay on these forums long enough you learn stuff by just reading through all the posts on how people messed up their stuff and others commenting on how to fix it.
